Police found the man in possession of an electronic device with multiple media ports, specifically for TV viewing and video recording.

The detective got a search warrant to seize and search the library computer and the media device in the man’s possession.

In May, a Snohomish man was arrested for investigation of downloading child pornography from a city library computer onto a cellphone.

The suspect denied having pornography stored in his phone when he was confronted by police, according to court papers. However, he told police he was viewing pornography at the library and the images included pictures of naked children.

He told an officer that he was on a website he believed would have nude photographs that would be artistic in nature.

Snohomish police took his phone and a transfer cord as evidence.

A detective reportedly found on the phone more than 50 photographs depicting children as young as 2 being sexually exploited.

All computers in the Sno-Isle Libraries system have Internet filters. The Snohomish Public Library is part of the 21-branch system that serves more than 671,000 people and includes a collection of 1.4 million items.

Library users 17 and older can choose an option to have unfiltered Internet access. The exception is to computers that are in the children’s sections where all computers have filtered access.

Sno-Isle policy calls for library workers who see patrons engaging in illegal activity, including accessing child pornography, to call 911.
